CABLE DETANGLER
Some scooters are equipped with a cable detangler for the rear
brake. Follow these steps to aach the upper cable to the rear
brake lever. Figure 3.7
❶ Loop the upper cables through the opening on the
handlebar. Note: One of the upper cable casings is shorter
than the other. The shorter side should be on the right. This
is the shorter distance between the brake lever and the
upper detangler plate.
❷ On both sides, place the cable through the upper plate and
thread the adjusng barrels into it.
❸ Insert the cables into the slots on the bearing plate. Note:
The lower cables should already be aached to the tabs on
the bearing unit.
❹ Squeeze the brake lever several mes to be sure all the
cables are seated in the adjustment barrels. If there is
excess play before the brake cable starts to move, this can
be adjusted by turning the adjustment barrels.
a. First adjust the barrel adjuster at the mid point of the
upper cable unl the brake lever does not have any
free play.
b. Next squeeze the brake lever and allow it to return.
c. Check to see if the bearing unit booms out on the
lower detangler plate. If so, unscrew the adjust barrel
further unl the bearing unit sits about 1 mm above
the lower plate. This is the correct posion for the
bearing unit.
❺ Rotate the handlebars back and forth and then turn them
completely around 360 degrees. Observe if the bearing unit
spins quietly, or if it “ops” back and forth. If it has any op,
this can be ne tuned with the four adjustment barrels in
the upper and lower plates. The goal is to reduce or
eliminate as much of the op as possible, while keeping the
brake funcon consistent.
❻ Turn the handlebars 360 degrees and note whether the plate
ops forward and back, or if it ops the same way. If it ops
forward and back, adjust the upper cable barrel adjusters
unl the op is reduced. If the op is the same way, then
adjust the lower cables unl the op is reduced. Somemes
both need to be adjusted. The best thing to do is to adjust the
lower cables rst unl the bearing unit has an equal gap on
the le and right sides, then adjust the upper barrel
adjusters unl the op is minimal or none at all.
Note: See Secon 4: Adjusng the Brakes for further
adjustment of the caliper brakes.
